National Science Day 2020: All You Need to Know

Every year, February 28 is celebrated as National Science Day in India, to celebrate the discovery of the ‘Raman Effect’. India’s great scientist CV Raman invented the ‘Raman Effect’ on this day and won Nobel Prize for the same. This revolutionary discovery has since then been used endlessly to channel growth and scientific advancement.

The main motive to celebrate National Science Day is to make people aware of the importance of science used in our daily lives.

The theme for National Science Day 2020 is “Women in Science”, which aims to appreciate the contribution of women in the field of science. National Science Day will be celebrated on February 28 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. President Ram Nath Kovind will give prizes to women scientists who have made unprecedented contributions in the field of science on this day.
